DEE And DEF S Type Load Cell
S type tension cell for crane scales, belt scales and blending systems, 100 kg to 5 t.
Product Overview
The DEE and DEF are S type cells built for the jobs where the load hangs rather than sits: crane scales, belt scales and blending systems. The two variants differ in output, 2.0 mV/V on the DEE and 3.0 mV/V on the DEF, and protection steps from IP65 below 1 t to IP68 from 1.2 t upward.
| Capacity | 100 kg to 5 t |

| Output resistance | 352 ±3 ohm |
| Excitation | 10 to 12 V DC recommended, 15 V DC maximum |
| Operating temperature | -30 to +70 degrees C |
| Safe / ultimate overload | 120 % / 150 % of full scale |
Category: Load Cells
Key Benefits
- S beam structure suited to tension loading in hoists and hoppers
- IP68 protection from 1.2 t upward for outdoor and wet duty
- Two output options so the cell matches the indicator already in service
- Alloy steel and stainless steel construction available
Problems It Solves
- Compression cells being forced into hanging applications
- Cells failing in exposed outdoor belt and hopper positions
- Output mismatch with an existing indicator

Materials And Construction
- Alloy steel
- Stainless steel
Customisation Options
- DEE or DEF output variant
- Alloy steel or stainless steel construction
- Accuracy class selected at order
Use Guide
- Note the lower overload limits on this family, 120 percent safe and 150 percent ultimate, and size capacity accordingly
- Use rod end bearings so the load stays axial and side loads are not transmitted into the cell
- Check the protection rating against capacity before specifying for an outdoor position
Certification
- Accuracy classes C2 to C5
How It Compares
| H3 S type | The H3 covers a far wider band, 25 kg to 30 t, and adds OIML R60 C3 and C4 approval. The DEE and DEF are the focused crane, belt and blending option from 100 kg to 5 t. |
|---|---|
| SQB shear beam | The SQB works in compression under a deck. Use the DEE or DEF wherever the load hangs from the cell. |

Four structures cover nearly every weighing build. Choosing the wrong one creates mounting problems that no amount of calibration will fix.
Crane Scale Safety And Inspection Basics
A crane scale sits in the load path of a lift. Treat it as lifting equipment first and a measuring instrument second.
DEE And DEF S Type Load Cell Questions
What is the difference between DEE and DEF?
Output sensitivity. The DEE is 2.0 mV/V and the DEF is 3.0 mV/V. Choose the one that matches your indicator input range.
Can this cell work in compression as well as tension?
S type cells accept tension or compression along the loading axis. Keep the load axial and avoid side loading either way.
Which capacities are IP68?
1200 kg to 5000 kg. Below that the family is IP65.
